Overview
The IST Academic Linux system is a shared computing resource used by thousands of students, faculty and staff of the University of Manitoba. To help facilitate that sharing, IST has developed a policy governing computationally intensive processes.
Features/benefits
The policy is intended to allow computing resources, particularly CPU time and virtual memory, to be available for use by all users while still providing the needed computing power for the University community's academic and research requirements.
How does it work?
Computationally intensive processes policy
On the IST Linux ‘login’ servers (“ccldesktop”, “ccl”), users are asked to run no more than three such jobs at any one time, and no more than one such process on any one CCL server.
Exempt from the policy are:
- "compute" designated computers.
- computers operated as part of IST Linux on behalf of other University units.
Processes in excess of the limitations may be terminated without notice. Processes within the limit but seriously affecting system function will be terminated. IST may suspend user IDs responsible for repeated incidents.
Users with research or academic computing requirements in excess of the resources available under this policy may request exceptions or additional resources by create an IT Ticket.
